Led by researchers at the University of Barcelona, the study shows how mice injected with a protein called Klotho lived almost 20% longer than their untreated peers. Beyond just extending life, these mice maintained better muscle strength, bone density, and brain function well into old age—essentially slowing multiple aspects of aging simultaneously. The international team found that this protein acts like a master regulator of various aging processes throughout the body. Their findings, published in Molecular Therapy, demonstrate how a single Klotho treatment could potentially address numerous age-related declines at once.

Klotho and Fate

Clotho (/ˈkloʊθoʊ/; Greek: Κλωθώ) or Klotho, is a mythological figure. She was one of the Three Fates or Moirai. In ancient Greek mythology, she spins the thread of human life, her sisters … She is the youngest of the three sisters, with her sisters being Lachesis and Atropos. Clotho's role is to spin the thread of human life, while Lachesis measures the thread and Atropos cuts it.

One unfortunate side effect was that the mice became vampires.

I expect to find some on Temu or TicTok shop this weekend.

I guess this is the plan: they feed the mice this stuff, and then they feed us those mice.
